Blind squirrels and such-Ncore 400You will have to wait hundreds of hours before you hear what these amps can do. I was very happy with the detail, soundstage, drive, etc. early on, but the warmth and emotion didn't show up for a loooooong time. Be patient. You will be rewarded. Y...

Class D ampsI received my NCores in the first batch, but I just haven't put them together yet. I have been running UCD400HG with HxR for 2 or 3 years. They are fabulous and I expect the NCores will be considerably better based on what I have read.
